Types of Hand Embroidery on Needle ‘n Thread
Assisi Work
 |
Assisi embroidery is a counted thread embroidery technique. In Assisi embroidery, the work is done on even-weave linen, and the background of the design is filled with long-armed cross stitch or regular cross stitch, while the focal image of the design is left voided (or empty). An outline is stitched around the various elements of the design. This outline can be worked in backstitch or even in outline stitches such as stem stitch or outline stitch.
